Reply #8: Yes, like they change it every few years. [View All]

When I was a pup you could still find the occassional silver certificate. If you don't know what those are, just google it.

Paper money has a life of about 18 months and the printing of new money and reconfigured plates happens every year (the issuance year and signature change). So small changes are happening all the time.

The new anti-counterfitting measures changed the look drastically, but trust me, it would be a minimal change to put raised dots on the face of bills and only a little more expensive for the mint to make them different sizes.

As one person pointed out however, every place money is changed in public from retail stores to ATMs would have to reconfigure their physical set up.
